Expert-Designed Child Safety Education for Child-Based Organisations and Educators.
Practical, research-backed training and resources
built from a decade on the front line of child protection investigation - so your team knows exactly what to watch for, and what to do next.
Why It Matters
Every early childhood educator, teacher, and youth worker is trained on mandatory reporting and child sexual abuse. Almost none are equipped to recognise grooming, or to have the tough, direct conversations with children that actual prevention requires.
And it goes further than knowing the signs. Most educators aren't given the support, language, or organisational backing to call out the grey-area behaviours - the ones that don't scream red flag, that are easy to dismiss or explain away, but that matter most because they're what precedes the obvious stuff. Without that support, even educators who notice something off often don't know how to name it, let alone act on it.
That gap isn't a small one. It's the difference between a team that reacts after harm has already happened, and a team equipped to recognise and interrupt the early, deniable behaviours that precede it - and confident enough to say something when it counts.
Child safety isn't a policy binder. It's a culture, built and maintained by adults who've actually been shown what to look for and given permission to act on it.
From the Interview Room,
to the Classroom
Kristi McVee spent 10 years with the Western Australian Police Force, nearly six of them as a Detective specialising in child sexual abuse investigations, working as a Specialist Child Interviewer conducting formal evidentiary interviews with children who had disclosed abuse. That work requires a level of precision, restraint, and understanding of child disclosure that generic child safety training doesn't touch.
When she left the force in 2020, it was to shift from reactive to proactive - from responding after harm had happened to helping stop it before it starts. She's since worked as an Online Safety Specialist presenting to students from Years 3–12, and delivered talks to parents, educators, and organisations across the country.
Everything Kristi teaches organisations and educators comes directly from that frontline experience - not generic compliance content, but real insight into how offenders gain access, how grooming actually unfolds, and what meaningfully changes an organisation's ability to catch it early.
Training & Resources for Your Organisation
BODY SAFETY CARD SETS
(HARD COPY)
Age-specific conversation cards educators and carers use to open up body safety conversations with children in a natural, guided way.
KEEPING LITTLE ONES SAFE
A self-paced professional development course built specifically for early childhood educators, family day care providers, and centre managers. Six modules covering how to spot early signs of abuse and concerning behaviour, recognise subtle grooming tactics, build a physically and emotionally safe environment, teach age-appropriate body safety, and respond confidently if a child discloses - plus checklists, templates, quizzes, and a Certificate of Completion for professional development records. Real-world frontline insight, not theory.
BODY SAFETY BASICS
Kristi's foundational course for educators and parents on teaching body safety and boundaries to young children - practical language, age-appropriate framing, and confidence to have the conversation.
WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
Andrea Varcoe
"I look after my Grandkids on a daily basis, times have changed a lot since raising my own children. Having a resource such as the conversation cards to utilise is a no brainer , made by an expert in the field. We love them"
Rickilee
"The language in the cards was easy for her to comprehend and made sure that we could keep moving through the conversation so she could stay engaged. She answered everything to the best of her abilities and that made me feel a lot better about talking about this with her. We are both young parents and these tools are so goddamn necessary to hold these important conversations with children. We have always been big on her setting boundaries with anyone and everyone, but this has opened the conversation to be more broader, which was a learning curve for her and us too. Thank you again for creating these cards, and sharing everything you have on instagram"
Pauline Leslie
Psychotherapist
"As a psychotherapist who works with horrendous outcomes of abuse this is in the most powerful way to educate parents and children in an effective and positive way. Easy to understand and use. Highly recommend!"
Louise
Mum of 11 year old girl
"Kristi has boiled down a very complex and alarming topic into very effective and easy to execute steps for both the parent and the child. Taking about predators is incredibly difficult, but I fully trust Kristi to be able to articulate this well as she has seen and heard some of the worst cases in the field."
Amanda Murphy
I purchased two of yours Cards with Kids packs to accommodate both age groups of my children. It was very easy to follow and as a family we are so much better equipped. Thank you for all you do Kristi!"
Christina
Mum of 4 year old boy
"The Conversations with Kids cards have been so supportive for me and my family. The section around understanding the different types of "NO" is exactly what we needed and has been so simple and effective to discuss with my son as Kristi explains it in a way that is he can understand."
Julie Watts
Early Childhood Worker
"I love the body safety series and we use the resource often in our Early Childhood Centres. Especially recognising who the child's safe people might be."

It’s impacted our conversations. When I first delivered this to my son I thought maybe he was too young to grasp what I really meant. But since then he can identify body parts, knows his safe 5 and has even now at 4 can voice to that he doesn’t feel comfortable when a family member took him to the toilet. I am so grateful for this the impact has really made a difference I just wish it was taught in kindies and prep."

"Thank you SOOOO much for the Online Safety Guide Kristi!! I love it, you've done an amazing job (as always). It's such a practical guide and the conversation starters are incredibly helpful! I feel like it's some thing you can pick up and roll with straight away! And for me just knowing where to start always feels like the hardest part. I also love that you've linked in resources too. And your online course. We're all so busy, having to do your own research gets in the way of getting started!"
Anonymous Parent
"It is excellent. So much information and all of it important. I loved the example questions and suggestions of ways to talk to kids. That’s really helpful because sometimes I don’t know how to start the conversation. The challenge is a lot of the time this stuff comes up in the car when the younger kids are there too."
